A refined base-pair editor limits unintended neighboring DNA edits while maintaining strong correction of disease-causing mutations. The technology could advance treatments for cystic fibrosis and ...

Humans have been shaping life for thousands of years through farming, breeding, and selective cultivation. But with modern tools like CRISPR, we can now directly edit DNA itself—rewriting the very ...

One of the most well-known versions of the gene-editing tool CRISPR may not work in a large proportion of the population, according to recent research out of Stanford University in California. CRISPR, ...

Researchers have found that a new base-editing gene therapy can help treat a rare neurodevelopmental disorder called Snijders ...

UCLA researchers have developed a lipid nanoparticle-based gene-editing approach capable of inserting an entire healthy gene ...

Two studies published in Nature Medicine June 11 contribute to a small body of literature suggesting cells edited with CRISPR-Cas9 may cause cancer. Here are five things to know about the studies and ...

In 2018, Chinese scientist He Jiankui shocked the world when he revealed that he had created the first gene-edited babies. Using Crispr, he tweaked the genes of three human embryos in an attempt to ...

Scientists have successfully edited the genetic code of piglets to remove dormant viral infections, a breakthrough that could eventually pave the way for animal-to-human organ transplants. Their work, ...

When you think of the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) movement, you might picture fertile soil, organic farms, and homeopathic remedies. For some, that vision is a welcome change; for others, it ...
